Employees of the Boulevard Diner on Shrewsbury Street, where Christina Lavoie had been a waitress for the last five years, set up collection jars and a written memorial to their co-worker on the diner’s counter this morning.

The diner also donated platters of food to grieving family members and neighbors of Mrs. Lavoie who gathered outside the charred three-decker at 49 Chilmark St., which was heavily damaged by the fire last night that killed Mrs. Lavoie.

The memorial reads:“Thursday night, tragedy struck the family of Chris Lavoie, a longtime employee of the Boulevard Diner. She was killed in a house fire and surviving family members lost not only their belongings, they lost Chris — a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. We love her and miss her at the diner. Please give what you can to help the family during this tragic time. Thank you from all of us here at the Boulevard Diner.”
